Policy Classification Configuration Summary
Enterasys Matrix Series devices support policy profile‐based provisioning of network resources
by allowing IT administrators to:
• Create, change or remove user profiles based on business‐specific use of network services.
• Permit or deny access to specific services by creating and assigning classification rules which
map user profiles to protocol‐based frame filtering policies configured for a particular VLAN
or Class of Service (CoS).
• Assign or unassign ports to policy profiles so that only ports activated for a profile will be
allowed to transmit frames accordingly.
• Configure CoS to automatically assign policy‐based inbound rate limiters and transmit
queues.
Policy Classification Configuration
Note: It is recommended that you use Enterasys NetSight Policy Manager as an alternative to CLI
for configuring policy classification on the Enterasys Matrix Series devices.
Note: Enterasys Matrix Series devices also support policy-based routing, which forwards or drops
packets at Layer 3 according to matching access lists (ACLs) in route maps configured on routing
interfaces. For details, refer to "Configuring Denial of Service (DoS)
